5. Setup
- Spakkjar: Carefully remove the riveter and all accessories from its packaging. Verify that all components listed in the "SET CONTAINS" section of the product description are present (1 x Piece, four riveting nozzles, two spanners).
- Konnessjoni tal-Provvista tal-Ajru: Connect the riveter to a clean, dry compressed air supply capable of delivering 90 psi (6.2 bar) operating pressure and 4.2 cfm air consumption. Use an appropriate air hose and quick-connect fitting. Ensure the air line is free of moisture and debris.
- Nozzle Selection and Installation: Select the correct size nozzle for the rivet you intend to use. The rivet body should fit snugly into the nozzle. Screw the chosen nozzle firmly onto the front of the riveter. Use the provided spanners if necessary to tighten securely.
- Kollettur tal-Mandrin: Ensure the transparent rivet shaft safety cap (mandrel collector) at the rear of the tool is securely attached. This collects the spent mandrels after riveting.
6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
- Ipprepara l-Biċċa tax-Xogħol: Drill a hole in the workpiece that matches the diameter of the rivet body. The hole should be clean and free of burrs.
- Daħħal ir-Rivet: Insert the rivet into the pre-drilled hole in your workpiece.
- Position Riveter: Place the selected nozzle of the riveter over the rivet mandrel, ensuring the rivet body is fully seated against the workpiece surface.
- Operate Trigger: Firmly press the trigger. The tool will pull the rivet mandrel, deforming the rivet body to create a secure joint. Continue holding the trigger until the mandrel snaps off.
- Rilaxx tat-Trigger: Release the trigger. The tool will reset, and the spent mandrel will be ejected into the transparent collector.
- Empty Collector: Periodically empty the mandrel collector to prevent blockages and ensure proper operation.
7. Manutenzjoni
- Manutenzjoni ta 'Kuljum:
- Disconnect from air supply after use.
- Empty the mandrel collector.
- Clean the tool exterior with a dry cloth.
- Add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before and after each use to lubricate internal components.
- Kura taż-żennuna: Keep nozzles clean and free of debris. Replace worn or damaged nozzles immediately to ensure proper rivet setting.
